Well, to tell you the truth, I was born and raised in Ohio and I miss it alot. I really miss the down home Mid-West people and the wonderful woods (especially in the Fall). I do love the Florida winters but I absolutely hate the long, long hot, mucky summers. I really wish I could be a snow bird and go to Ohio in the Summer and Fall and come down here Winter and Spring. That would be the best of both worlds for me. Takes $$$, retirement or a portable job working out of your house.

Yep we have critters. Wild parrots, parakeets, alligators. Parakeets are noisy little buggers. Winter brings a lot of pretty birds. I just saw a huge green anole (lizard) crossing the street the other day. Pretty thing it was. About 2-3 feet long and real bright green. Little lizards are every where. You'll start naming them soon. In the house, they eat other little insects for you but they will die eventually. Put a cup over them, slide a piece of paper under 'em and give 'em the ride of their life through the air into a nice green tasty bush.

When I moved to Texas for a while I really missed the ocean, the seafood, and all the varieties of trees, flowers, and plants that we have here in the sub-tropics. I traded big cockroaches and palmetto bugs for hugh crickets, snakes, scorpions, mesquite bushes, and one heck of alot of pine trees but great Tex-Mex food (yum..) and competition Dallas Push dancing.

WELCOME TO FLORIDA, REBORN.

friends

another fluff topic that has no useful purpose whatsoever.

i have a big foot.

my shoe size is 12 wide.

Hey, Dutchie and Ruby, ladies size 5-1/2 here, too. Aren't we the "Cindarella's" of the Board! Where do you buy your shoes? Some of the wonderful comments I've received: "I thought foot binding was out" AND "They don't look big enough to stand on".

Above is the link. The link reads a little different from the article that actually came out in print today in the South Florida Sun Sentinel "Local" Section, so I am giving you the printed version below :

"Jehovah's Witness faces jail in fraud case"

A former resident of Pembroke Pines, Opa-loca and San Antonio, Texas, could receive up to 140 years in prison when a federal district judge sentences him on Jan. 9 for defrauding more than 50 people, many elderly and financiallly unsophisticated, during a multimillion-dollar securities fraud scheme.

Many victims were fellow members of Jehovah's Witnesses congregation where he served as an elder.

U.S. District Judge Donald L. Graham in Miami set the sentencing date after a jury on Thursday found Raymond L. Knowles guilty of all charges against him: 16 counts of mail fraud, four of wire fraud and four of securities fraud.

Knowles in April was located in San Antonio, arrested and returned to Miami for trial.

According to a statement by South Florida U.S. Attorney Marcos Daniel Jimenez, Knowles used his position as an elder to sell millions of dollars worth of risky promissory notes to worshipers, falsely representing that the investments would return between 8.5 percent to more than 20 percent."

So much for their squeaky clean reputation.....

What a BOZO organization.....

Got your e-mail Scooter. I see my name on your list too but can you change it to "Trotafox" instead of "Trotofax" (I think that's how it was spelled). Let's see. Gee.. anything would be great from our Ex-JW posters but here goes:

I'm a 56-year old female.
I love to dance. Any kind. Swing, ballroom, old fashioned American Bandstand Rock and Roll, etc.
I just joined the CD generation (yeh, I know...I'm a late bloomer) so my CD collection consists of 6. I like 60's music and the New Age mellow massage therapy type of music.
Xmas mouse ornaments (starting my collection over that I tossed because of JW's)
Christian books
Stuffed country critters
Fall is my favorite time of the year
My favorite drink: Sutter Home White Zinfandel and herbal teas

Sorry...allergic to perfume except White Shoulders and that's over the limt, I think.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, THANKSGIVING, AND HO-HO EVERYONE......
